That has nothing to do with what I'm working on. I'm not touching the
return value of the seq_*() functions. I may make them all return void
though.

I may just make m->count == m->size + 1 for all cases. The m->count ==
what would have been written is if seq_buf() needs it. Which I highly
doubt it would.
